Quakeaways for Penn men’s basketball heading into Ivy League Tournament

by

Penn men’s basketball left no doubt on Friday night that it is a serious contender to win the Ivy League Tournament with a relatively easy blowout road win over Brown, 82-61.

The game itself? Well, it meant nothing in the standings. The Quakers (16-11, 9-5 Ivy) have been locked into a No. 3 vs. No. 2 game with Harvard in the league’s conference tournament for roughly a week. The Bears (9-18, 3-11) already were a cinch for last place.

Penn allowed Brown to score on its first possession but never trailed again.

Instead of expounding at length on the minutiae of the Quakers’ regular season finale itself, we’ll use these Quakeaways to spin forward and set expectations for what Penn will need to do to beat the Crimson and set itself up for a shot at its first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2018.

HANOVER, N.H. – Throughout a more than a little frustrating season, the defense has not been the problem for Brown men’s basketball.

The Bears are solidly in the middle of the pack in Ivy League defensive efficiency.

But the Bears just can’t score. Or more appropriately, they can’t shoot, ranking among one of the worst teams nationally in effective field-goal shooting (as well as three-point shooting).

All of which made the second half at Leede Arena Saturday night stunning.
